While I enjoyed the game for the most part, I think I was just super unlucky. 3 times I got Sarge to a point where the next hit was fatal, and wither got crit for 450 damage and died, or was chipped out due to every move failing. It kinda bogged down the game for me, because I had all the tools to win, only to get crushed by bad luck. But despite all that, the art was good, and I enjoyed learning the game (even though I still have no idea what bear stance does).

Thanks ! You were unlucky for sure, but the balancing and randomness is also the least polished part of the game, and the one I'll be fixing right after the jam.
The second best area for improvement is the visual and auditory feedback: the bear stance multiplies your damage in exchange for lowering your chances of parrying and dodging, but to realise this, you'd have to pay special attention to the damage values written in the bottom-right dialogue box.
Thanks for playing !
